All Hallows Eve

The Demon Night

---

 

The night of Hallows Eve takes place on the darkest night of the year. When the abyss is most pressing upon the mortal realm and the gaze of the All Father and the ancestors is elsewhere. It is on this night, the most dangerous night of nights that Fatherists gather to ward themselves off from the demons and foul beasts of the Abyss that roam the night, twisting the minds and hearts of mortal men and kidnapping children.

 

To ward off demons and ensure that they are protected Fatherists will string about ribbons of Red and Orange, colours of the All Father to scare off lesser demons. Large pyres will be lit and placed about the outer limits of any Fatherist settlement. Each abode will place burning torches and candles at every doorway and window sill for the entire night to ensure that no demons can enter. Finally every Fatherist will wear a traditional mask of a paragon or a beast to ward off demons or to trick them. Ensuring that their souls are not twisted during the night of demons.

 

It is customary to weave father totems from sinew and wooden rings, gluing the entire thing together with Ash sap and stretching rabbit pelts over the back. These will ward off demons, and placing them at every entrance to your home will keep it safe from the demons of the abyss, and their corrupting nightmares.

 

Lessons on the undead, demons, wytches and how to kill them will be taught to men, women and children, blessed aurum blades are to be forged by the purifiers and their approved smiths, these weapons will be handed out to the common folk for the defense of our homes.

 

The Faith will be expected to create a salt line around your home and bless it upon request, once this is done, your home will be marked with an [X], The symbol of the Father. Salt will burn demons that attempt to enter your home, and the blessings will make them slow, and without wit.

 

It is customary to carve pumpkins, onions, etc with faces of beasts and monsters, then display them at one’s doorstep, upon the heads of scarecrows, and in other places outside of the home, a tactic used to scare off lesser demons and wytches.

 

It is expected to always help out one another during this time when the abyss is closest to our realm, for it is almost harvesting season, and if we are too weak fighting amongst ourselves when the demons come and burn our crops, everyone will die. Children may request food on behalf of their family, and it is required to comply to their requests as best as your are reasonably able, it is also customary to give the children sweets, like cookies or candies.

 

OOC: Have fun doing Halloween RP for the rest of the month! ?

“I believe the Purifiers shall aid in this Harvesting season. It would be a shame to have such a nice head on our shoulders and not put it to the fields.” Magnus says after helping post one of the missives in the Western Keep.

Kanna Yaander would give a light smile at the third pumpkin she had finished carving, picking all the seeds from the gooey guts she had placed in a large bowl. Placing the seeds in a smaller bowl she quickly brought the two bowls to her kitchen eager to get to work on her pies, and various pumpkin seed treats.
